| Innovation, is a topic that never fading charms, and the civilization of human society is a history that full of continuous innovation and creation. In particular, when our era step into the twenty-first century, innovation happened in many science and technology fields is deeply changing the constitution of human civilization as well as its core concepts, and now scientific and technical innovation has become the soul of the progress of knowledge economy. With this trend, the cultivation of creative science and technology talents, who as the subject in scientific and technical innovation activities, is also becoming a common focus concerned by many countries in the development of human resources. In China, a series of strategies, which concerned with the long-term development of the nation, were successively put forward from mid1990s, such as Strategy of Sustainable Development, Strategy of Prospering Nation through Science and Education, Strategy of Strengthening Country through Talents Development and Construction of National Innovation System, etc. Undoubtedly, for the implementation of these strategies, the cultivation of creative science and technology talents is a basic project. At present, The comprehensive innovation ability of China is still in a backward status compared with those main countries in the world, and stepping up the cultivation of creative science and technology talents is also one of basic conditions that changing this situation.As an important subject in the construction of innovative country, higher education shoulders the task of personnel training, scientific research and social service, in which personnel training is the most fundamental task for universities. In recent10years, the development of higher education in China has expanded continuously in quantity, but with this, the quality of personnel training is also increasingly becoming a hot issue in our society and suffered by the public, and Mr. Qian's Questions can be an representative example mirroring this situation. In the formulating process of National education reform and development of long-term planning programs (2010-2020), how to cultivate creative talents was one of the20issues for suggestion from all circles in the society, which indicated its significance and urgency to break through this conundrum. It is known that the cultivation of creative science and technology talents is a complex system engineering, which involves lots of factors, but no matter what perspective is adopted for the research of this problem, its final purpose will returns to the cultivation of some competency related to innovation. Thus, a more basic problem can be put forward, that is, what kind of competence structure a creative science and technology talent should have and what competency elements contained in this structure? Research on this problem can not only help to uncover the competency characteristics of creative science and technology talents theoretically, but also provide a more objective and concrete logical basis for the practice of personnel training. However, the study on it is not paid much attention in the domestic. For this, this thesis tried to construct a competency model about creative science and technology talents in order to sketch their common competency characteristics systematically, and according to this model discussed the problem about how to cultivate creative talents at the undergraduate stage in our country.The study of this thesis is based on The Theory of Competency Model, The Theory of Creativity and The Theory of Creative Education, and its research means is combining theoretical research with empirical research, as well as qualitative analysis with quantitative analysis. The logical vein is spread along three problems related to each other:(1) what's creative science and technology talents?(2) Why the universities in our country can't cultivate enough creative science and technology talents?and (3) how to cultivate creative science and technology talents?Around these three problems, this study includes following several aspects:Firstly, constructed a competency model about creative science and technology talents through employing the classic means developing by McCelland, and used a series of competency elements to describe the common characteristics of their knowledge structure, thinking mode, comprehensive ability and personality traits, so as to provide a clear cognitive schemata for the problem (1). The study result indicated there were42competency element items affecting the innovative behavior of all kinds of science and technology talents, and from this, the competency characteristics could be concluded, including extensive, profound and structure-reasonable knowledge system, flexible, fluent and systematical thinking mode, personality traits full of innovation consciousness and spirit, and comprehensive innovation ability fit for the development of modern science and technology. The practice of science and technology talent training should be implemented in line with these characteristics.Secondly, scanned the realistic situation of the science and technology talent cultivating in domestic universities, viewed its trend, especially inspected the obstacle factors and specific problems encountered in the exploring process for better model, and analyzing their negative influence for the cultivating of undergraduate students' creative competency. The study result showed that in the exploring process of cultivating model there existed some recessive resistance and obstacles which from our traditional culture or the inertial function of earlier model. To a great extent these factors were responsible for the problem (2), because they could go against the forming of undergraduate students'creative competency.Thirdly, suggest about how to improve the current cultivating model of creative science and technology talents and how to promote its collaborative conditions were put forward, as the response to the problem (3).In this part, the target of talents-training was set as a given value referring to the competency model of creative science and technology talents, and the thought of Theory of Cybernetics was introduced in the constructing of creative science and technology talents-cultivating model system, affection of different conditions to the system operation were explained also, such as the teacher's role, the science and technology practice condition and the education environment. Then the guiding principles and practical path that should be abided by or adopted in the cultivating process were discussed in detail.What's more, the measures about how to strengthen the construction of creative teachers'team, how to strengthen the construction of science and technology training platform for undergraduate students, and how to perfect the education environment were stressed.The novelty of this study mainly embodied in the following three aspects. Firstly, built a competency model about creative science and technology talents. Sceondly, constructed a improving model system about the cultivating of creative science and technology talents, Thirdly, a series of new claims or arguments about the cultivating of creative science and technology talents were brought forward.
